What a gay day

Today's just weird- in a good way. Look, I even bothered to change the font to arial.

For a start, I woke up early not early as in waking up to check the time and dozing off again, but seriously early like 20mins before the set time... ok ok, nobody wants the details...

Then I managed to have breakfast and a shower, pick my clothes AND use the computer! like a miracle la... I used the com to transfer CRS and IDEA stuff from the com to my thumbdrive...

Anyway, CRS was amazing today. Our group did very well, even though I was supposed to be a "free-rider" in some people's eyes. (Unbelievable right? but thats an unrelated incident) Everybody contributed greatly and we all worked well together. I'm not even gonna shortchange her the credit...

Although the topic we chose was very challenging ("Terrorism can be justified"), and we probably spent the most time coming to a consensus on the 3 main points (Historical Factor, Religion and Beliefs, and Ends justify Means), we amazingly managed to pull it off! Arnold Wee commented on our scope of research too! I'm just glad we coped well with the rebuttal from the class... anyway, Nai Kiang (surprise, surprise) was the most vocal whilst we heard nothing from Mary ann (surprise, surprise) hehehehe...

Now to the funny part!!! Limin's group (mary ann, winnie and xue mei) touched on homosexuality and how S'pore should be open and accepting towards it. Their stand was that we should not discriminate against homosexuality.

However, when their presentation ended, Nai Kiang started a "perception war" with them! It was HILARIOUS. And I did something unimaginable man... I copied down his rebuttals and Limin's group's counters with him. Crack yourselves up:

Nai Kiang's main emphasis in all his rebuttalssss: "we don't discriminate them wad, it's they think we discriminate against them" OR "Why do you keep saying we're discriminating them? We don't, it's just you assuming we discriminate against them" OR "They feel bad about themselves first, so every small thing we do, they say we're discriminating them."

(not in sequence)
MaryAnn: Did you know when you sign up for the army, you've to declare if you're homo or not... If U are, then you'll be given clerical work (etc....)

Raymond: What you expect, later they hold the gun like gu-niang...

Nai Kiang: ya lar, what if they go to war, then they see an officer and think, "aiyer, I can't bare to kill him." Then the whole platoon gone...*
*this is way I (and everyone else) roared with laughter.

Mary Ann: can you say you've never went "Eeee, he's a gay?"
Nai Kiang: WE're not discriminating the, it's just an expression. It's like when a pretty girl walks pass, you go (nudges Raymond's arm), "Wah, pretty girl! pretty girl!" Then when he see a gay, you'll go "eeee, gay!" wad...
Mary ann: ah, u see, when you say "eeee", it shows you're discriminating!
.... silence....
Wenbing: Then what you expect us to say? "WAH, gay!" arh?

After group's counter argument on one of Nai Kiang's it's-them-being-too-sensitive points again,
Kailin (from NK & ray's group): It's True, it's true! I know alot of gays -I have a few gay friends, they're really like that! I have their number! You want, I give you!
winnie: how many gays friends do you have?
Kailin: Quite a few, about TEN lar..... two here. (pointing to Raymond and Nai Kiang)
So the class laughed like siao again and drowns out the futile protests of the both of them...

Abit of background on the two gays OOPS... guys in my class. They're inseparable. That's why some girls say they're "gay". they noe it lar- it's kind of an open secret. But can't blame them coz they've only got each other against us... Personally (and rather obviously) Raymond is the more normal one. HahahahahahaHAHA.

Not bad hor this class... Bottomline: never miss CRS lessons.

Previously the lesson before the SB day week also damn HILARiOUS. More so than this one. that time the impact of any joke was magnified becoz our classroom shrank and we sat in close proximtiy of each other... the GAY memories: Toot-cher amidst the students, Silver buttons on Flowery Tee, Dodging Arrows, Standard Size 12 , American vs British vs Singlish spellings, Vietnam war and Na-pom guns (or something) and Anti-PAPism and it's opposition rallies- we will HAMMER PAP!

All fer me to know and you to (never) find out!

Memoirs of a Geisha

My fav part of the 2 hour movie:

Homosaku: In times when housemaids and even fisherman's daughters can too become Geisha, it is hard to come by such a hardworking maiko, isn't it?

Mameha: Sayuri, don't you think you should thank Homosaku for her generous compliments?

Sayuri: There are many things I would like to say to Homosaku.

H: Sometimes the smartest remark is silence.

S: What better advice than to follow your own?

H: *laughs* I too was once a young maiko like her and thought that ...(says something mean)

S: But that was a very long, long, long, long, long time ago...

Ok that's it for now. Very tiring day due to last night's late sleep after the movie...

The friendly post

This is probably the first time I'm posting in direct response to comments... hehe, kah hwee, feel honoured k? and wads "u'r a crazy ger k?" 0.o??? HAHAHA.

Went out yesterday coz I felt like I needed to! anyway went out wif my aunt who came back from australia, with my cousin daniel. there was also mei ee, aleka, uncle raymond and ee-ma. Waoh, first time i mention them right? of course my mum and brother went too. we met up at raffles city shopping centre and had Haagen Das (jialat, is it spelt correctly? if not tiff's gonna "scold" me le, hahaha!).

My mum's got this STACK of 20-dollar vouchers from Amex, because she and my dad threatened them about cancelling the card etc.. then they faster redeem all their points... So I had ice-cream for lunch.
Note: NEVER drink water after ice cream (especially during lunchtime). U'll feel like someone stuffed a water balloon into ur guts!

Then went around the shopping centre. First to the toilet to release some pressure then to bossini to spend money to save money ;P kah hwee will know wad i mean... , then to robinsons to get a new remote control car for the little punk, and then watch some chinese performances... and back to haagen das for tea! eeeee...

But later on ws more fun in a sense. we went to the water fountain at the basement and the 2 kids found a spot near the water edge. ya noe how kids are when they se the water splash out and up... then I knelt behind them - wearing skirt so cannot sit. then opposite was a foreign couple having their tea or lunch... The man kept looking at them, erm, noisily welcoming the water out of the holes. At first they were shooting at the water with their imgainary water guns but beacuse the couple were directly across us, I thot they were annoyed by these 2 kids shooting at them... So I un-knelt myself and retreated lower la.

Then I saw him holding up a gun himself. A huge lens-ed camera that is. and den before i could duck behind them, I think he shot us already. hahaha, good job, daniel and aleka!

After that, my uncle asked me to follow him to the marketplace. at first I didn't want to because I still wanted to watch the fountain with them, but he said come la come la. So I went with him. NO REGRETS MAN! I got from him a new CD-player Radio!!! Yipps! there goes another cross on my mental new year wish list! AHAHAHAA! Coz my old one juz passed on a week ago.

Den we saw this natural tea section, where all the real dried flowers and herbs were displayed. It smelt wonderful man. It sorta relaxes yet rejuvenates you at the same time. so we lingered around the section, and then my uncle asked for a detoxing tea. The promoter introduce Marigold flowers to him. surprised right? It actually has a detoxing aka laxative effect. but the girl said "we recommend customers to take NOT MORE THAN TWICE a month." My uncle was like HUH! so power wan arh? - that kind of expression. the girl sid coz if you drink more than that, u will experience very "smooth traffic". ahahaha. then he asked me if liked one too. So sales girl immediately reccomended Pink Rose buds! Yes, just the one I was staring at!

Then just as we left the section my uncle jingled the bottle of marigold flowers and with a mischevious grin he said, "Can sabo people, let them drink alot..."

HAHAHA!

Then even as paying up, he said "Drink 3 times a week leh?"

I said, "Becomes slimming effect."

He went, "Slimming? ...Oh ya hor!"

I wonder if he'll try it...
